Malin + Goetz Lip Moisturiser - Hydrating Lip Treatment

Here's the thing about most lip balms: you apply them, they feel nice for twelve minutes, then they vanish and you're digging through your bag to do it all over again. The Malin + Goetz Lip Moisturiser is not that lip balm.

One application. It absorbs. It stays. It doesn't slide off onto your coffee cup, your partner, or your pillowcase. No fragrance, no flavour, no sticky residue. Just soft, hydrated lips that stay that way.

Why This One?

Because the formula is deliberately minimal. While other lip products pile on waxes, flavourings, and ingredients that actually dry your lips out (looking at you, menthol), Malin + Goetz stripped it back to what actually works: a fatty acid blend that nourishes and conditions, plus bisabolol (derived from chamomile) to soothe.

That's it. No fragrance. No flavour. No ingredients you need a chemistry degree to understand. Just a gel that does the one job a lip moisturiser is supposed to do — and does it well enough that you forget you're wearing it.

The No-Transfer Promise

This is the detail that converts sceptics. The formula absorbs into the lips rather than sitting on top as a greasy layer. Which means it doesn't transfer to glasses, mugs, other people, or anything else your lips touch. For anyone who's ever left a lip balm print on a wine glass at dinner, this is the solution.

It also makes it perfect for wearing under lipstick — hydrated base, zero interference with colour.

About Malin + Goetz

Founded in New York in 2004 by Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz, the brand was built on one idea: skincare should be simple, effective, and designed for sensitive skin. Everything they make is formulated to work with as few ingredients as possible — no unnecessary fragrance, no harsh chemicals, no complexity for the sake of it.

Their lip moisturiser is the most Malin + Goetz product they make: does exactly what it says, nothing more, nothing less.
